Guys, what is the appropriate haq meher to ask? 1000 dollars? 2000? I know some people give like 1 dollar. But isnt the amount given for security for the wife? So that if any thing happens to her husband she can be financially strong for a short time. (assuming she doesnt work) I am not sure about haq mehers and i have read in the Quran about it, but not sure how much is the norm or right amount to give/accept.

Doesn’t really work like that anymore. Its more a gift from husband to wife and can be anything. Doesn’t have to be money. My haq meher is my dressing table lol.
